Attaining Asylum

[koramado]

I began running the Shackled City AP in August of 2005. Two years later we have reached the final act. It is both exciting and sad that I will begin the last chapter of the campaign tomorrow. It has surely been one of the most challenging and satisfying games in which I have ever participated.

I began with a group of 8 players and managed to keep 6 through the whole campaign. I'm grateful to them all for the experience. I hope they have enjoyed the time as well, even though they were made to suffer on occasion at the hands of their mischevious DM.

Now it will be my turn to squirm as I become a player and we move on to the Age of Worms. So, a whole world of thanks goes out to everyone that helped to inspire and contribute to my Shackled City campaign. That pretty much includes everyone on this board and theRPGenius.com, the swell folks at Paizo, and my supportive wife.

Best Regards,
Koramado

Congratulations! I've only managed two aborted attempts at Life's Bazaar myself, but I hope to make it to Asylum one day as well. Let us know how the final chapter goes!

Good luck Koramado. I hope it's a satisfying ending to your campaign. I've been running scap for almost 3 years now, and am just about to start foundation of flame. I hope to be done before christmas!

Age of Worms Koramado? COuldn't you convince your new Dm to run you through the Savage Tide instead? That would be my preference for the next path. I think I'll be waiting forever for the AoW hardcover now :(

I've been playing the SCAP for as long as the Hardcover has been in existance (3/4 years) and we just entered Occipitus. Mind you for every 'offical' adventure they have played through in the path I have run them through a least one unoffical one.

In my opinion best campaign I've ever Dmed

Hope the campaign finishes dramatically and excitingly for you and you group mate.

Don't worry. I'll be DMing Savage Tide while I'm playing in Age of Worms. With all of the practice I've gained through running the Shackled City, it will be another memorable campaign as well.

Spoiler:

We're not quite done yet. I kept my players on the run from Vhalantru for 5 hours because they decided to split up for the evening and weren't expecting a return visit from him, of course. His DC 32 eye attacks were very hard on them, but they managed to regroup and recover after several setbacks. It was quite fun toying with them for that long and I know they'll think twice about ever splitting up again.

Well done Koramado, and thanks for all your hard work on the RPGenius!

Oh, and good luck in AoW and Savage Tide!

It sounds like other folks are wrapping up Shackled City, too. Another option to fill the void is the Red Hand of Doom. My boyfriend ran it for about a year, with 3-4 hour sessions every other week. It's tons of fun but is a totally different style from SCAP, being much more urgent and timeline driven.

I also want to add thanks for RPgenius.com and all the work you have done, Koramado. You've helped a lot of gamers get everything possible from SCAP. Thanks!

Off topic completely (sorry :( ) but Treppa, if you need the Regorge Siege document yesterday I can email you an unfinshed (think basic skeleton) version if you are desperate.

Otherwise I am getting closer.....you believe me right!? ;)

We'll miss your input around here Koramado.
